There is no system of governance that can withstand a critical mass of the people operating it choosing not to do what they’re supposed to. It’s why ohio ignored its supreme court and constitution on gerrymandering and why Trump gets away with shit.

The judiciary was slowly captured alongside the media because they were supposed to be the counterbalances to congress (who’s become afraid of their own shadows) and the presidency (a revolving door of business as usual centrists and caligula level lunatics)
